TILE WORK AND CUTE EMAIL STORY

That pretty TILE is on it's way around the backsplash of my kitchen

and

I AM HAPPY

NOW....as you can easily tell in this photo,

my OLD sink is

ALMOND

instead of WHITE

A new sink is just not in the Social Security Budget at this time

Not to worry tho....

I am so tickled to death over getting the BLACK AND WHITE TILE

that I am NOT letting a small thing like ALMOND or WHITE

mar my HAPPINESS

(besides, if you will remember, I am holding out for a

BEAUTIFUL WHITE FARM HOUSE SINK

**********

This tile is so different from anything I have ever had that everytime I walk into the kitchen to take a peek, it nearly

SLAPS ME DOWN

I think, however, once I have THINGS..... pretty things..... sitting in front of it and it is not just

"OUT IN THE OPEN, BUCK NAKED

it won't be as jarring to me

I AM SO HAPPY

*************************************

NOW FOR A CUTE LITTLE JOKE

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven: don't step on the ducks!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly man.

He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the MOST handsome man she has ever laid eyes on ...

VERY tall,

LONG eyelashes

MUSCULAR, and THIN ,

JUST PRETTY MUCH XTRA good lookin'

St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"

I STEPPED ON A DUCK!!!!!!I was reading along quite happily right up the second I snorted coffee thru my nose and dumped Hound on the floor, and adding insult to injury, landed her on the poor dog! Best one yet!hugsSandi

HA!! Great joke!The tile is looking awesome, just perfect! And, the silk doesn't look so almondy in the photos as it probably does IRL and that's all that matters here, eh? LOL! Hold out for that sink sweetie... are you keeping an eye out on craigslist and ebay? You just never know...Nikki

love the tiles!!!! i love the impact they make and when you get stuff like you want it, it will be so dramatic and wonderful. i'd do the same thing in mykitchen, but i don't have a bh (is blog talk for hubby?) to do the work and don't want to shell out the moola right now. i'm sure i could do it myself, but it would take forever and i don't have the energy. i'll just enjoy looking at all the pretty ones on the blogs.i have my blog all ready to publish, but still undecided about it.blessings, al

TO;RACHAELHELENALICEI encourage you to do some things you would just LOVE to your kitchen...even little, bitty, tiny things can make you feel so good about the room we spend so much time in. To ME, anything I can do to make it MINE...to be just a tiny bit different just thrills me to death...AND, you have to PROMISE that you will take pictures and share them with all of us !! :o)hugs, bj

Oh BJ, you are such a hoot! I loved the joke, and that duck picture is priceless! Soooo cute!!

Your backsplash looks fabulous! I can't wait to see the whole thing done. I love your kitchen. Loved the letters too that you made with grandchildren. How is the weather there? It's 90 degrees and humid here in central NJ. I don't like it at all. Have a great weekend!

FOLLOW ME and I'LL GIVE YOU CHOCOLATE....and if you let me know, I'll follow you back..PROMISE!
